Enjoy Live Music, Exquisite Cocktails, Hot Espresso, and Healthy Snacks at The Point
Step out of time. Step into another world. Imagine, you meandering along some old boulevard in Paris or Italy. Warm evening breezes tussle your hair. From down the street, the unmistakable sound of smokin' live jazz catches your attention, beckoning you. You can't help but follow, already feeling the creative energy buzzing through your bones. You quickly discover that the music is coming from a tiny, cobblestone-clad building. Set deep in the stone, bright green doors signal the entrance. Once inside, you are surprised to find yourself in an intimate triangular space lit with warm hues and flickering candles. Even the wooden tables are triangular. Colorful carpets adorn the walls and, just in front of them, are the musicians. You are in the room together - a cozy concert space, not separated by a big bandstand or a high stage. You are close enough to feel the inspiration and hear the clacking of the sax player’s keys, as they take you on an acoustical adventure. You experience a little rush because it feels as if you have just walked into an exclusive, private club or someone's elaborate living room, but the bartender welcomes you warmly and fixes you a tasty cocktail. Settling in to the cozy atmosphere, you indulge in a night of engaging music, soul-warming food, and genuine company...
Welcome to Schwartz's Point, Cincinnati's own Euro-style Jazz and Acoustic club, located in a lovely little historic building, at the 5-way intersection of Vine, McMicken, and Findlay, in OTR. For your listening pleasure, we offer live music Thursday through Saturday evenings. You will usually find great jazz, but on occasion, you might be treated to an inspiring, live classical group, and on the last Tuesday of the month, we have the Society Jazz Orchestra playing the interesting and technically complicated music of the late Ed Moss, founder of The Point. In any case, the music will be excellent, maybe even something you've never heard before, and the musicians will be talented. Check out our Calendar of Events, to see who's got chops this week. What goes great with hot jazz? A cool cocktail, of course! Let us make you an old favorite or enjoy one of our signature craft cocktails utilizing our fresh, natural and often organic fruit and herb infusions. The Chet Basil (gin, lime, and basil), and The Red Garland (Tito's, fresh - made pomegranate syrup, lime) are a couple of favorites. You might also want to try one of our seasonal or whimsical wine, spirit, or beer selections listed on our Specials Board. Need a pick-me-up? We now serve espresso, during concert breaks, to put a little zing in your listening experience. A limited, rotating menu of tasty, nourishing fare (soup, salad, etc.) is available during shows - catered, and served buffet-style. Check out our Specials Board to see what's cookin', good lookin'!
